He's been pretty awful when given chances. Maybe MLF thinks he can develop better than other coaches. I'd have rather road with Pratt imo

I assumed they'd look around for a vet, but Willis isn't exactly a savvy backup. Plenty of arm talent but hasn't put it all together. Pratt has arm talent too, so surprised they didn't keep going that route, but maybe they think they can get him back on the PS.

Another Clements project? If so, isn't Clements mostly known as a QBs arm and footwork guru? Can he fix a guy's read and act mental approach too?

He was awful when he played. Hopefully Clements has some magic left in him.

Kinda surprised they moved off him for only a 7th rounder. Bunch of people had the Titans keeping all three QB's and I honestly like Willis more than Rudolph. Hopefully this works out better than DeShone Kizer did.

Clifford and Pratt must both be getting cut.

So I'm guessing this is because of Jon Robinson. He was the GM of the Titans when MLF was hired to be the OC, and Robinson drafted Willis. I bet Robinson passed along positive intel to MLF.

Probably the same reason we were linked to Tannehill.

Preseason stats mean almost nothing, but he was pretty good this year.

Pratt to the PS? Cifford sent off with a hearty handshake?

Homer thought: with their abundance of useful receivers, any prospect for trading one of them, rather than cutting one or two?

I think the best you could hope for is a 7th from a team low on waiver priority

Wouldn't surprise me if some team trades for whoever doesn't make it out of Dubose, Heath, Toure, and Melton. Probably don't get more than a 7th for any of them but better than a kick in the teeth.

Next offseason though is when things get interesting. Watson and Doubs are both going to be looking for new deals, and the cash being thrown around is stupid.

Bill Huber says Packers are likely to release Clifford, Pratt is more up in the air. Also possible Pratt/Clifford serves as the backup Brazil with such a quick turnaround

Does Heath have a passport? Of course the NFL may be able to waive that technicality :lol:

Willis is like if Jalen Hurts had a bigger arm but also had no idea how to play QB. He's a lotto ticket project for sure.

Maybe we can use him as our RB2 instead of Dillon.
